Python Scripts

Python is a cross platform open source programming language.  Python is a very good language for accomplishing geoproccessing tools in GIS. This helped make it the language of choice for ESRI's ArcGIS, as well as many other GIS programs.  It's easy to learn compared to other languages and is also very widely used and well supported.  As programming grows in importance, future employers will expect prospective employees to know a programming language such as this.

   

For this lab the task was to write a script that would project the rasters, clip them to the county boundary, and load them into a geodatabase.
